I then worked into the felt fabric with machine stitching and hand embroidery.

It is a good illustration of what my ’Painting with Fibres’ workshop is all about!

During the workshop you create a felt picture, learning basic felt making techniques, experimenting with fibres and textures...Then you have the extra pleasure of embellishing your finished piece with stitching, at home, at your leisure...

The ‘PAINTING with FIBRES’ workshop will be at Seely Hall, Brook, IOW

on Sat 1st October 10am—4pm

There will be also be a ‘3-D FELT’ workshop on Sat 15th October at Seely Hall.

We will be well into autumn by then and there will be a 'Seeds & Pods'

theme to the day. This has to be my most favourite time of year and I shall be

bringing lots of inspiration along to the workshop...

I will demonstrate methods of 3-D felting using resists.

You can choose to felt a bag or bowl, or come along with your own ideas!

All the workshops will be held at the Seely Hall in Brook Village, IOW..

The 'Felt Birds' workshop is £40 per person for the day and this

includes ALL materials.

The 'Painting with Fibres' & '3-D Felt' workshops are £35 per person per day,

there's an extra charge for materials or you can bring your own fibre.
